Feeling Seasick

I'm going through the motions whilst surfing in the sea
Now I’ve contracted typhoid, oh deary deary me!

Raw sewage pumped into the sea really is outrageous
Typhoid is a horrid disease and sadly it's contagious

Phillip Garcia Date: 2/8/2017 5:38:00 PM A classic Jan poem: Superbly written, meaningful subject, and, of course, a touch of poo Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/10/2017 2:57:00 PM A touch of poo - hmm would make a good title lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/8/2017 5:15:00 PM ha. the picture certainly depicts it, Jan. Good one. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/10/2017 2:57:00 PM I found the pic then wrote the poem lol:-) hugs jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/8/2017 2:07:00 PM Pollution seems to be a universal problem, Jan. One can understand when an oil drill ruptures and spills its contents into the sea, but pollution by neglect is an unforgivable offense committed by selfish people. You said a lot in four lines! Great work, Jan. Hugs to you. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/10/2017 2:58:00 PM Thanks Carolyn it really shouldn't happen in this day and age:-( hugs Jan xx

Paul Callus Date: 2/8/2017 1:30:00 PM Many people are not really aware of what happens to sewage. Some does get special treatment, but ultimately it's got to end somewhere! And, yes, your point about typhoid is a reality! Hugs // paul Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/9/2017 7:58:00 AM I found the pic and the poem followed:-) hugs Jan xx

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 2/7/2017 9:16:00 PM It's a sad state that we as human beings, who pride ourselves on being so clever, cannot figure out how to dispose of waste other than polluting our waters. I would say this is a top priority considering our growing population. The Nobel prize should go to the next person who figures that one out! A great message in your poem Jan. ; ) 7 Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/8/2017 4:20:00 AM Thanks Connie I was inspired by the picture:-) hugs Jan xx

Lim'Rik Flats Date: 2/7/2017 2:58:00 PM Oh dear, she's feeling blue//after a swim in the poo//the pristine sea//filled up with pee//is now a soiled stinky slough. YUCK! Huggabuggas ~ j Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/7/2017 4:56:00 PM ha ha ha John:-) hugs jan xx

Daniel Turner Date: 2/7/2017 12:48:00 PM I'm almost certain that is a crime. I know it happens more than we know. A humorous take on this very important topic, Jan. Well done:) Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/7/2017 4:58:00 PM Many thanks for your comment Daniel - going through the 'motions' - ugh:-) hugs Jan xx

Charlie Smith Date: 2/7/2017 12:14:00 PM Lovely imagery, yuck... Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/7/2017 4:58:00 PM Many thanks Charlie:-) hugs Jan xx

Tim Smith Date: 2/7/2017 11:36:00 AM It disgusts me as well that I water is polluted. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/7/2017 11:56:00 AM Sewage still spills out into the water around our little Island - it is supposed to be 'treated' but there have been leaks of untreated waste - ugh:-( hugs jan xx

Chris Green Date: 2/7/2017 10:45:00 AM Yuck!!!!! Jan!!!! Now my stomach is upset, that's not a picture I longed to see in my mind this morning. But I do think you got your point across in a wonderfully imaginative poetic way. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/7/2017 10:48:00 AM I came across the pic and knowing how we have had incidents of raw sewage being pumped out to sea I couldn't resist this charming little ditty lol By the way I don't surf or swim so its total fiction for me:-) hugs Jan xx
